Xavi will leave FC Barcelona if he does not win any trophies this season. The ultimatum was not set by the leaders of the Catalan club, but by the coach himself. Under pressure since the heavy defeat in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid (4-1) on Sunday, the former midfielder indicated this Wednesday at a press conference that he would not hold on to his position if Barça fails.
Not at best in the league (4th, 8 points behind the leader, Girona), Xavi and his men are still involved in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. “This year the objective is to win important titles, the Copa del Rey, La Liga or the Champions Leaguehe said at a press conference. If the goals are not achieved, I will be the first to say that I did not achieve them and I will leave.»

Xavi also highlighted that “the first this year was to be in the round of 16 of the Champions League and it was reached“. He can also count on the support of his sporting director and former teammate, the Portuguese Deco. He publicly dismissed the possibility of installing the Mexican Rafael Marquez, currently at the head of the reserve team, on the bench. The Catalans challenge the Unionistas de Salamanca (Spanish D3) on Thursday (7:30 p.m.) in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.
